Back in April I wrote a blog entry about my favorite sewing technique: reverse appliqué. Well, it’s November and it’s still my favorite! I love the look and the simplicity of this technique.

Last year I bought this simple cream knit cardigan on sale. Unfortunately I've never worn it. I think it was one of those "great deals" that's hard to pass up - a perfect candidate for embellishment! I added reverse appliqué flowers on one side using my newest fabric fromFree Spirit Fabrics / Westminster Fibers. The collection is called Leanika. To see the line in its entirety, go to the Free Spirit website. 

Reverse appliqué with knits is especially great because the fabric won’t fray along the cut edges like woven fabric, so you can embellish a plain t-shirt and still wash it. See my how-to April blog entry on the reverse appliqué technique here.
